Snooze While You Lose

fab diet, lose weight sleep
It is possible to melt away some of those excess pounds while you snooze.
IN THE BEDROOM-- You may have an eating disorder. You might spend too much time on sitting on your ass. It's quite possible that you haven't done a sit-up since high school. But even if you are a lethargic, cheeze-doodle-eating couch monkey, living a lifestyle only slightly more active than your patio furniture, you still have the ability to melt away the pounds with a minimal amount of physical effort.

You're probably asking yourself: "How can I attain my ideal weight without spending precious hours on the treadmill, starving myself with useless fab diets, or constantly purging my canned ravioli dinners by jamming wooden spoons down my throat?"

What if you could just wake up one morning weighing 10 or even 20 pounds less than you did the night before? Only in your dreams? Yes! You CAN lose weight while you sleep.

Skeptical? What you might not realize is that your dreams can have a significant effect on how many calories you burn while you sleep. Your subconscious, the program director for your nighty-night channel, is making every effort to maintain your metabolism, while you sleep. Your subconscious regulates your body functions while you're asleep, but with the right stimulus, you can trick your body into thinking it is being more active and will lead to a higher burn rate.

For example: A normal, healthy human will burn appromixately one calorie per minute while they sleep. The body slows down its metabolism during this inactive period, and the amount of energy expended is significantly reduced. It's the body's dimmer switch, a way to conserve energy reserves during those not-so-busy times.

But horny teens, who fill their sleep with wet dreams, burn more calories while they sleep because their metabolism is controlled by their raging hormones. And athletes, who dream about participation in active sports, burn more calories because they're re-enacting their games and the physical efforts in their sleep.

Now you might not have the virility of an angst-ridden teenager, and you might not exactly qualify for an olympic sport, but you've probably encountered it before. You wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Why? Because you were  having an active dream. Maybe you were running away from an enemy, or trying to catch a bus. It doesn't make any difference. You were burning calories while you slept!

Controlling your dreams can be difficult, but people who have an awareness, or lucidity, where they're asleep can manipulate their metabolism so that they burn more calories, and more importantly, fat, while they sleep.

How can you do that? Try watching a pornographic movie before you fall asleep. Or try listening to books on tape about running when you go to bed. Think about counting joggers. Anything to steer your subconscious towards an active, energy-filled dream.

People with passive dreams are the ones who tend to put on more weight. They wake up sluggish, and even more tired than when they went to sleep. And sneaking to the refrigerator in the middle of the night only adds to your problem.

When you wake up in a pool of sweat, congratulate yourself! You've probably burned off an extra 500 calories. Do that seven nights a week, and you'll lose a pound a week. Only in your wildest dreams? Yes.solar power, solar energy

Our Wallets Are Getting Ready For Christmas

The Holidays Are Approaching Faster Than My Paycheques It can be said that there aren't enough paydays in the year to allow for us to pay for the things we need, buy the things we want, and save for the things that we will probably never be able to afford. But while we scrape and pinch and save as much as we can, clicking the buttons on our online banking accounts in order to cover our rent, and keep our house in heating for another month, we are never truly prepared for the onset of the holidays, and the associated costs of Christmas. Now while most of us can budget for the Christmas...

Online Casino Games And Grandma's Candy

Winning at online slots isn't the same as playing cribbage with your grandmother I have always been a fan of the local casinos, and have been since I was a little kid learning how to win hard candies from my grandmother playing cribbage, whist, and gin rummy. While none of the casinos I visit now play for candy, the thrill of winning is still there, and playing the card tables always reminds me of those childhood games. Well, I'm grown up now, and the casino games are for grown-ups. And because of my own family commitments, I don't always have the time to slip out to the casino for a few...
